where Latin will be our common language. Today Latin is still the living language of the Church, the key which opens the spiritual treasury of the entire Christian era. During this week we will have a unique opportunity to speak and understand Latin better and to strengthen our love of God and our Catholic Faith.

Visitation Monastery

YOU WILL STAY

at beautiful Visitation Monastery (2300 Spring Hill Avenue, Mobile, Alabama). The buildings of this monastery (founded 1833) are modeled after both European monasteries and architecture of the early American South. It is surrounded by broad, pleasant gardens ideal for contemplation. There is delicious food  breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The rooms are pleasant, clean and air-conditioned. The cost of your stay is the best possible and includes room and board.

Dining Hall

DON'T BE NERVOUS

Using the living Latin language will not be difficult because we go about it differently. (If this is your first visit to a Cenaculum, a small dictionary might be helpful.) You need have no fear of making errors. There are no critics among us. In the company of others you will experience Latin as a truly living language, completely suitable for the times in which we live. With practice you will learn useful expressions for cultivating Latin conversation. By speaking together, listening and laughing, the Latin we learned earlier will be liberated and transformed into a real means of communication.
